Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly taken a significant step in their pursuit of Federico Chiesa by opening formal discussions with Juventus. The North London club are now actively exploring the possibility of bringing the talented Italian winger to the Premier League.
Tuttosport report how Chiesa has found himself in a precarious position at Juventus. He is currently not part of new manager Thiago Motta’s plans for the upcoming season, as evidenced by his absence from the club’s pre-season tour in Germany. Instead, Chiesa has remained in Turin, training individually at the Continassa facility following his recent marriage to Lucia Bramani.
With his contract set to expire next summer and no agreement on an extension in sight, Juventus is keen to sell Chiesa rather than risk losing him on a free transfer. This situation has opened the door for potential suitors, with Tottenham emerging as a frontrunner.
According to reports from Tuttosport, Tottenham have made initial contact with Juventus to discuss a potential transfer. The London club is reportedly prepared to meet Juventus’ valuation of around €30 million for the player.
Tottenham’s new manager, Ange Postecoglou, is said to be an admirer of Chiesa’s abilities, particularly his versatility and skill in one-on-one situations. The prospect of playing in the Premier League is also believed to appeal to Chiesa, who could be excited by the opportunity to test himself in England’s top flight.
